In my little thatched hut
Where blue-green grass grows by the brook
I lounge and I look
(I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look)
For my own true love to return
To come rowing in his rowboat back
In my little thatched hut
Where blue-green grass grows by the brook
I lounge and I look
(I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look)
For my own true love to return
To come rowing in his rowboat back
I'll go to the flower stall
And get a violet violet to put in my jet black hair
And make him tell me which one is the more fair
And in the meantime I cry
In my little thatched hut
Where blue-green grass grows by the brook
I lounge and I look
(I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look)
For my own true love to return
To come rowing in his rowboat back
In my little thatched hut
Where blue-green grass grows by the brook
I lounge and I look
(I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look)
For my own true love to return
To come rowing in his rowboat back, boat back
I'll go to the flower stall
And get a violet violet to put in my jet black hair
And make him tell me which one is the more fair
And in the meantime I cry
But what does it matter
Because when I see him again
It'll be tears of joy
In my little thatched hut
Where blue-green grass grows by the brook
I lounge and I look
(I lounge and I look, I lounge and I look)
For my own true love to return
To come rowing in his rowboat back
